" Castoria Is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children. "
Da. O. C. Osgood
Lowell, II ass.
" Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I cm acqiiainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of thi various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves."
